I did have a miss that kept tripping the check engine light. They had to replace one cylinder head to fix under warranty.

I was investigating wiring to tap into and fried a doohickey that too the deal several days to figure out where the actual fried part was. All covered under warranty. Other then that No not really.

Posted 9/23...
Picked my 2015 JK up in March.
Use it as a DD for work, just turned 22,000.
I'm up to 27,000.

Oil changes are done by me every 7,000 miles (90% of this is highway cruising, less than 1 or 2% is any kind of start stop traffic). I buy whatever full synthetic deal is available with the filter.
Well, not whaterver, I try to stick with Valvoline, Quaker State, Mobil, Castrol or Pennzoil.

Just hit 9,100 pulling into the driveway. Change oil about every 3,000 miles as per the sticker the dealership puts on my windshield. And I have three years of no maintenance.

No no no. Stupid dealer. 3,000 miles is absolutely a much shorter interval than necessary. Why can't we let go of that 1970's myth. The manual for your jeep probably says not to exceed 8,000 or maybe 10,000. I do mine every 5,000 because it is easy to remember.
The changes may be free, but be assured that the dealer is going to take the opportunity every time you bring it in to up-charge you for some other service. For example, they are going to tell you your differential fluid needs to be changed and will charge you maybe a couple hundred dollars when it actually only takes 20 minutes and $30 in fluid.
